Description
American Modern: Hopper to O'Keeffe by Esther Adler and Kathy Curry is a fresh look at the Museum of Modern Art's holdings of American art from the first half of the twentieth century. This collection brings together works by artists such as Edward Hopper, Georgia O'Keeffe, Charles Sheeler, Alfred Stieglitz, and others who may not be as well-known for their avant-garde credentials. The artworks on display vary in style, approach, and medium, ranging from melancholy still lifes to eccentric landscapes. Despite these differences, a distinct sensibility emerges, revealing a side of the Museum that may surprise some visitors. This collection sheds light on the cultural preoccupations of rapidly changing American society during this period. By exploring the work of these lesser-known American artists, American Modern offers a unique perspective on the art and culture of early twentieth-century America.
